Before we jump into the gaming content for PlayStation Plus this week, we wanted to let you guys in on a deal we’ve got cooking for new or existing PS Plus members.

Exclusively in GameStop stores, buy a 1 year PS Plus membership and get $10 in PSN cash to use on the PlayStation Store! You’ll get it right when you buy the 1 year Plus membership at GameStop; how’s that for instant gratification? You have until June 20th June 2nd to take advantage of this deal. So whether you’ve been thinking about checking out PS Plus, or are an Instant Game Collection vet, you’ll want to hop on this deal.

With that said, we’ve got a ton of stuff to cover this week including two (two!) games coming to the Instant Game Collection: the addictive puzzler Germinator, and the wonderful pinball experience that is Pinball Arcade. You’ll also find new Ultimate Editions on sale, which deliver complete editions of big titles you may have missed with all of their DLC at a reduced price; especially so for PlayStation Plus members. So let’s get right to it!

May 21st PlayStation Plus Update

Germinator (PS Vita)

PSN Price: $9.99, Free for PS Plus members

Germinator twists the bubble genre, wiping away old school match-three games. Crash germ bubbles into those of the same color. Combine and grow them until they explode in a splattering goop. Trigger power-ups to pop them all and mess up the screen. Timing and accuracy are the keys to solving puzzles and preventing the germs from rising too high. It’s a great title for all ages, and will be downloadable free in PlayStation Plus later this month.

Pinball Arcade (PS3, PS Vita, Cross-Buy Enabled)

PSN Price: $9.99, Free for PS Plus members

It’s pinball action on the go with Pinball Arcade on PS Vita. You’ll find great pinball tables like Tales of the Arabian Nights, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Theatre of Magic, and Black Hole available from within the game. There are additional tables available to download too if you’re looking to augment your Pinball Arcade experience.

Metro: Last Light Season Pass (PS3)

Season Pass is for the true Metro fan. It is a discounted pre-payment for future Metro downloadable content. With its purchase you will receive The Faction Pack, The Tower Pack, The Developer Pack, and The Chronicles Pack.

Men’s Room Mayhem (PS Vita)

In Men’s Room Mayhem you’re hired as the janitor of your very own chaotic men’s room. You’re responsible for directing patrons, keeping everywhere sparkling clean and steering patrons away from trouble. You need to get your customers safely to the urinals and cubicles in time – otherwise there’ll be a few nasty accidents for you to clean up! Avoid fights by strategically steering patrons past each other with pinpoint precision, but be careful, as the waves increase the patrons pile up fast.

Ultimate Deals (P3 Full Games and Add-Ons)

Up to 75% Off for PS Plus members

The PlayStation Store is bringing you exclusive Ultimate Editions of some of the biggest games around. We’re bundling terrific PS3 Full Games with all of their DLC and offering these Ultimate Editions at great prices with even bigger discounts for PlayStation Plus members! There is truly no better time to beef up your game collection. Get it all with newly released Ultimate Editions, only on the PlayStation Store. (Note: If you have the single player version of Starhawk from the Instant Game Collection, you’ll still be able to download the Starhawk bundle to have access to all of the contents of the bundle.)

You’ll find all the content detailed above with their Plus benefits active when the PlayStation Store updates on 5/21.

So tell us, what are you most excited for this week? Your comments and feedback matter, so leave them below, or, if you’re looking to engage with more of the PS community, make sure you head over to the PlayStation Community Forums to discuss this week’s news more, find other topics to contribute your thoughts to, or start one for yourself. Also, I’ll be out for the next couple weeks, but my good buddy and fellow Community Manager Paul Sullivan will be bringing you all the Plus news while I’m out. See you in the comments!

@morgan Trying hard to get publishers to offer DLC on sale for a week alongside a new PS+ game (for example: Pinball Arcade) would be a really nice little perk for people that might already own the free game being offered.

The deals are probably the best part of PS+, this will be the 4th and 5th times I’ve traded a physical copy of a game in and bought the Digital Version on sale. Sometimes I spend a little more in the end, but its worth it.

I was just wondering if there are going to be any T rated shooters or adventure games soon. Also, it seems like we are getting a lot of puzzle games (Germinator, Closure, The Cave, Knytt Underground), so I was wondering if psn could maybe give some other games that aren’t puzzle and are not super violent like maybe Call of Duty Classic or Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Thanks anyways for the cool update!

p.s. I love Sleeping Dogs so much that I don’t want to play Call of Duty BO2 as much. I also bought the Year of the Snake add on and 4 others :)

i remember last year Infamous got its Ultimate Edition and then weeks later it was free on the IGC and everyone got mad, remember that?
Please promise it won’t happen again this time. I’m gonna buy Max Payne 3. It better not join the IGC cause that will be $20 that i won’t spend on a 3 months on PS+

ultimate deals are all overpriced!
I’m sorry to say people do some research you could find your games a lot cheaper. The games are being overpriced so it seems like if you’re actually getting a deal when you’re not :-(
Shame on you Sony :-/

Hmmm, based from the second survey, will Infamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, and Ratchet and Clank All 4 One finally go? It would be good if they can be replaced with PS3 games matched with the same prestige as the 3 games the’re replacing.

I was really hoping for a sale on the Pinball Arcade DLC as I haven’t picked up any of the extra tables yet. However, Germinator looks pretty good. Other than that, there is really nothing else there for me this week. I can certainly do with another money-saver. That Spring Fever sale really cleaned me out!

@71.. I suppose..?
Maybe if you purchase used.
You can’t beat these deals though if you want to support the developers as well as Sony.

These products and their DLC… Great deal. The DLC is definitely the selling point here.. I wanted DMC for a while but I almost never get DLC for games because they feel like they cost too much. It’s a great idea. Thanks once again Sony.

People like @53 are the reason of why I prefer to get the updates when they are already out and not before. It is cool to know what to expect the day before, but this will get soooooooo many comments about the “delay” of the update.

@ Gorvi -> You’re correct, but sometimes @Morgan reply to the users that will contact to the publishers as well :D so giving a try on here too. (Playstation Blog)

Also I sent some twitter and FB to Square-Enix Members, and Playstation to put on PSN as well… So I’m shooting in all the directions so maybe one bullet can reach the objective ;) and see soon many of them on the PSN ;)

I appreciate the effort in these sales, but the only one I’m interested in isn’t a good deal at all. Arkham City GOTY is 16 bucks on Amazon right now. If both contain all of the DLC, and I can get an actual disc with Amazon, what is the benefit of spending 7 bucks more other than the immediate satisfaction? This is especially true considering that I paid for a PS Plus subscription for access to this PSN deal int he first place :l

Hey, if you keep giving us shi**y games,at least give us good discounts on new games and old games.How come we get trash games and EU PS+ subscribers get new and good games?Let’s see what EU subscribers get this month :
Entering PS Plus in June:
29th May: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
29th May: ICO and Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection
29th May: Demon’s Souls
5th June: Rayman Origins PS Vita
5th June: Coconut Dodge Revitalised PS Vita
And what do we get?Garbage games,that’s what we get .IF YOU CAN’T GIVE US THE SAME GAMES,THEN GIVE US GREAT DISCOUNTS ON NEW AND OLD GAMES!

I have a Korean ps3. Anyone know if the digital version of Persona 4 Arena has the region block? I couldn’t buy the American disc because its locked. Would love to finally play it and for such a great price.

I would just like to know if we will actually learn what our June monthly list of games is on Monday the 3rd of June or if your going to make us wait till E3 to find out what the June list is. Is there any chance you could tell us if there will be an update for the week before E3 or if we have to sit in wait. I’m not asking what games or specials just if we will be given info at all or have to sit in the dark?
